Left Justify Numeric Data

Is there an easy way to left justify numeric data in QUICK?

The dollar amounts for many of our fields needs to be very large to handle 
over 10 million dollars with a leading sign. But the amounts are displayed 
way to the right of the field labels because of the large picture option. 
They come out looking like this:

INVOICE AMOUNT:         25.32

Instead I'd like it to be:

INVOICE AMOUNT: 25.32

I've tried adding the "character" option to the field statement, but that 
messes up the picture.

Any suggestions without a lot procedural code?
